2010 Sprite Dunk Contest Participants Released
The 2010 Sprite Slame Dunk Contestants were released today inside of Penn Station in NYC. A few days ago it was announced that DeMar DeRozan and Eric Gordon will star in the first ever dunk-off which will take place February 12th during the Rookie Challenge and Youth Jam event. Joining either DeRozan or Gordon are 2009 defending champion (as well as 2006 champ) Nate Robinson, alongside Gerald Wallace and SHANNON BROWN. I put Shannon Brown in caps because the dude pulls out dunk contest dunks in regular season games!
It will be an exciting dunk contest, that’s fo’ sho’. Nate Robinson is only one of five players to win the even twice (Jordan, Jason Richardson, Dominique and Harold Minor). Nate would be the first ever 3-time champ (I know Shooter could care less, even moreso because he is a Knick)!
| Participant | Team | Position | Height | Weight |
| Shannon Brown | Lakers | G | 6’4” | 205 |
| Nate Robinson | Knicks | G | 5’9” | 180 |
| Gerald Wallace | Bobcats | F | 6’7” | 220 |
| DeMar DeRozan* | Raptors | G | 6’7” | 220 |
| Eric Gordon* | Clippers | G | 6’3” | 222 |
*Competing in Dunk-off on Feb. 12th
Prediction: Despite a great effort from Gerald Wallace (finally the Bobcats are getting some street cred in the NBA) he will not make it to the finals. It will be Robinson vs. Brown with Brown being the favorite due to fan hype but I’m going with Nate. That dude has some major swagger!
Who do you think will win?
-The Basher
DeMar DeRoZan will win this dunk contest, and it will be great for the kid. He is going to be an awesome player to watch in two years, and the publicity will illustrate his future ability.
Anyone notice someone is missing?????
Starts with a ‘Le’ ends with a ‘jerk’…?

I called this.
I’ve had major beef with the dunk contest ever since iguodala was robbed by Nate Robinson. This years lacks the star power, but my pick is Cannon Brown. Kids got major hops.
[...] field is to have some of the NBA’s brightest and most recognizable stars compete in the Slam Dunk Contest on All-Star Weekend in [...]
